About this award
The Planetary Science Institute, a nonprofit research organization based in Tucson, Arizona, received a $147,365 research grant from NASA's Shared Services Center on March 20, 2024, to support the project "Constraining Enceladus' Between-Stripe Emission," which is a continuation of original grant 80NSSC19K0885. This award is part of NASA's broader commitment to understanding the icy moons of Saturn, with Enceladus representing a key target for astrobiology research due to its subsurface ocean and active geysers. The grant carries no set-aside designation and reflects PSI's competitive technical merit in planetary science research. Work under this grant will be performed at PSI's Tucson facility and is scheduled for completion by July 31, 2025.
The project focuses on analyzing emission phenomena occurring in the distinctive stripe patterns on Enceladus' surface, contributing to NASA's ongoing investigation of Saturn's moon system. PSI brings substantial expertise to this research through its track record of supporting NASA missions and conducting sophisticated data analysis on planetary spacecraft observations. This grant exemplifies PSI's role within NASA's Science Mission Directorate portfolio, where the institute collaborates on fundamental research projects aimed at characterizing planetary bodies and advancing understanding of conditions relevant to potential habitability in the outer solar system.
